TILT - Remix


I thought I would switch it up this week! Rather than pointing out things about our bodies and ourselves that we’d like to change – I am doing #ThingsILikeTuesday –about myself! Hardest one yet – digging deep here! This is weird. This is really weird.






- My brains. True story – I would rather be called smart than pretty any day of the week. I have a lot going on up there, you guys. Too much actually. Way too much. Need. Sleep.

- My introverted-ness. A few years ago, someone suggested that I read ‘Quiet.’ When I realized what it was about, I was kind of really offended. I thought that being an introvert sounded like a terrible thing and I actually kind of like people sometimes (haha). So I learned to embrace it and this realization has actually helped me so much. I know I need alone time to reenergize and get my thoughts together. I’m not scared to be alone. I take a lot of time to build few relationships. It doesn’t seem so bad to me after all! To think all these years I just thought I was painfully awkward…! J

- My fashion sense. I have a good taste in shoes, what can I say. My heart is happy, my wallet not so much.

- My passion. I’m like crazy super passionate about a few things. Maybe too many because my execution is a little off but – these things make me happy and keep me moving and motivated.

- My #momlife. I like plans and a schedule and rules and let’s face it – having kids throws you off schedule sometimes most of the time. I handle spontaneity and lack of plans quite well – at least a lot better than I would have thought! I feel blessed that my job allows for it!








Okay, now I feel a little full of myself naming those things so I feel inclined to tell you that my nail beds suck. LOL. That was kind of fun though. I know we hear it all the time – but pointing things out that we LIKE – can be a total game changer. Let’s do it for us – and for our kiddos who are watching our every move J

Top 5 Diaper Bag Essentials


My diaper bag is FULL of items that I would say are totally necessary each and every time we leave the house - but I tried to pick my absolute top five. Here goes!



1.     Sunscreen – I’ve been using California Baby – which is PABA-free and mineral-based and have   loved it so far! I have heard great things about Kabana Green, too – has anyone tried??
2.     Boogie Wipes – They are gentle saline wipes, because my boogie-princess almost always      needs a tissue when we are out – and they don’t dry out her nose!     
3.     Hand Sanitizer – I keep Babyganics foaming hand sanitizer on me because it is alcohol-free and   it smells great!
4.     Aquaphor – What isn’t Aquaphor good for. Dry lips, skin, scrapes, cradle cap, you name it.
5.     SNACKS! My lifeline. If we’re out for awhile, I’ll have fruit and veggies in a little cooler. But –       some quick on-the-go favorites – we love Kind bars, Annie’s bars and crackers, Horizon organic   string cheese, the list goes on…





Also, I would have to recommend this baby bag as well. I fit EVERYTHING in here! Keep in mind, this is a very abridged list! What are everyone’s diaper bag must-haves?!

Mommy and Me



Moms, dads, babysitters, caretakers of all likes - I am teaching a Mommy and Me Fitness class Monday afternoons at Zelienople Community Park! 

They hold Story Time from 10:30-11:30 at the Zelienople Library. Following Story Time, please join me for a sweat in the park! The kids will have a chance to grab a quick snack and play before our interactive, full-body workout. We will incorporate both cardio and strength training all while spending some quality time with the kiddos - a great experience for all! Feel free to bring your strollers, baby carriers, games, and books as well – We are excited to provide a fun and active environment for moms and their children!

Harlow and I look forward to seeing all of you on Monday at noon!
